As sort of discussed here and there, we definitely have a lot going on - some of the things we can't share dates yet, but we're at a point where I can post some progress on our new building and data centre in London. Last year we started the process of re-purposing a previous metal distribution office/warehouse, into what will become our new London facilities sometime in 2018. This project is running in 2 phases, with the 1st phase now permitted and underway.
Phase 1 - New Data Centre (2017 Q3)
Phase 2 - New Company Headquarters (2018 Q3)
The data centre is a fully redundant 1.5 MW facility, hosting not only our own equipment for the London region headend, but also space for customer colocation services. Everything you'd expect here, N+1 cooling, A+B UPS, A+B generators, 110/208/480V service options, raised floor, diverse entrance paths for fibre, diverse MMR's, etc. Walls just started going up this week, pictures in next post.
Phase 2 is still at permitting stages, but the plan is to add a 3 story building in front of the existing 1 ½ story warehouse – for a total of 80,000 sq.ft. when completed. In addition to the data centre and a small’ish retail store, it will be home to our growing team. Once we break ground, I’ll post some pictures of that progress.
